2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Progression to Glenohumeral Arthritis after Arthroscopic Posterior Stabilization in a Young and High Demand Population

Progression to Glenohumeral Arthritis after Arthroscopic Posterior Stabilization in a Young and High Demand Population

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the limited data available for evaluating the progression to arthritis following arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. Previous studies have reported rates between 8 and 22% for anterior instability, while data for posterior instability is lacking. The purpose of the study was to assess the progression to and risk factors for arthritis in young patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. The study analyzed two cohorts, one for anterior instability and one for posterior instability. Risk factors for anterior progression to arthritis included older age, number of anchors used, and revision surgery. No significant characteristics were found for posterior instability. The study suggests that early surgical intervention may be beneficial for younger patients with anterior shoulder instability.
